Cambridge Wolfs Irish Red Ale

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
First brewed in honor of the nuptials of CBC Barman and artist-in-residence Lee Wolf and his bride, coffee goddess Diane Cutler. This year’s batch celebrates their second anniversary! Brewed vaguely in the style of Irish Red Ale, it nevertheless boasts a firm hop character beginning to end. Pilsner and toasted malts, with a touch of roasted barley, give the beer its reddish copper hue, and the malt palate is smooooth. Hops in the kettle and conditioning tanks include the British varieties Magnum, Challenger, and East Kent Goldings. The hop character is soft and complex, lending an herbal fruitiness to the aroma and flavor. With a long, dry, balanced finish, the hops mingle nicely with the residual malt sweetness. This year it is served nitrogenated through a stout tap, with a dense tan head atop an altogether creamy brew.
